is the 8th Gen Already dead?

Not at all.

Metal Gear Solid 5 is coming to Next gen consoles 100%. Its still running on PC hardware which is all the evidence you need. Why they haven't announced it yet? Well I assume its down to Microsoft not wanting the PS4 to build too much momentum before the new Xbox is announced. Same reason Dice refused to say whether BF4 is coming to PS4 despite the obvious fact that it is.

Past generation haven't seen this many cross gen titles, but past generation have also had pretty bad launches (ps2/gamecube/xbox/Ps3/Xbox 360)... All those systems have had draughts throughout their first 9 months. With only a few note worthy titles sprinkled here and there. PS4/720 will have the best launch line up ever.

The predominance of cross gen will initially stop the ps4/720 from being must haves for the casual gamers, but only with the wii were casual gamers early adopters. The Core gamers want to play Next-gen battlefield, Watchdogs, Dark Souls 2 and not a watered down versions. Alongside the next gen exclusives like Witcher 3, Killzone, Infamous, Drive Club and whatever Microsoft announces. More Next gen exclusives will probably be announced at E3.
